Thanks a million stilleto and blut wump. I tried the L-Glutamine, and it really has made a big difference. I took it with me on a snowboarding weekend; it was a powder weekend, which is really hard on the legs, and I didn't get any soreness. My legs are still rather weak, so I didn't spend all...

When it comes to insurance coverage for TMJ problems, it is a really difficult thing, or at least it always was for me. Many policies, both medical and dental, will either specifically deny coverage for TMJ treatment, or will stipulate a very low coverage limit (maybe $2000 lifetime). It is a...

Right now, I'm supplementing with L-Carnitine. That is my only amino acid right now. I picked up some L-Glutamine today and will give it a try starting this weekend. My sleep lately is adequate. I tend to sleep well in general; I fall asleep easily and quickly and sleep soundly. It is much...

Well, here is the update. For the past month, I have continued to have almost constant muscle fatigue and soreness in my quads. The most I've been able to get in is 2 light workouts a week. I'm going snowboarding in the next couple of weeks and am a little fearful of what I'll be able to...

I have been wondering about my sleep and stress levels. I'm always told I'm too goal-orianted in my workouts; every week I have to work longer, bike farther, lift more than the week before. I may try reducing the number of my workouts, and stick to more intense workouts focused on one group...

I really appreciate the suggestions everyone has made so far, and will try to answer any questions. I would love to swim, if we had a pool. Unfortunately, responsibilities at home prevent me from being out of the house for extended periods most days. My morning stretch is a light stretch, just...

Hi everyone. I’m new here, and found this board because I’m looking for some help. Here is a history of my problem (I’ll try to keep it brief). I am a woman in my mid thirties, and have been exercising regularly for several years. I am an expert snowboarder, and work out to keep in shape and...

Re: Anybody have TMD Jaw Problems? (long) Hi Bassman. I’m new to this forum, but had to respond to your question. Here is my background: I had severe TMJ disorder, caused by structural problems with both my upper and lower jaws; they had grown crooked, lopsided, and uneven in every way. I had...
